Hello everybody,

i have create a script for Transformers 2. No need to install Directx9 or Visual C++ 2005, everything is made during the installation.

But, i have an ATI card, a 4850HD and the game and sound are very slow when i must create a new profil. I would like to know if someone having the game and a Nvidia card can test my script and give me the result.

Thank you very much and sorry for my english, i'm french :p

The script :

#!/bin/bash

# Wine version used: 1.1.24
# Author: Berillions
 
#fetching PROGRAMFILES environmental variable
PROGRAMFILES=`wine cmd /c echo "%ProgramFiles%"`
PROGRAMFILES=${PROGRAMFILES:3}

Is this game free of charge?

POL_SetupWindow_Init "" ""

this "" "" isn't required if you do not use it

echo "\\"Multisampling\\"=\\"disabled\\"" >> OGL.reg
echo "\\"OffscreenRenderingMode\\"=\\"fbo\\"" >> OGL.reg
echo "\\"PixelShaderMode\\"=\\"enabled\\"" >> OGL.reg

This is set as default on Wine-1.1.24 so no need to set it manually


Does this game works out of box or do you have to use non original executable file?

Hello NSLW,

Yes, i use a no-cd crack...

Then please add following message at the end of installation

POL_SetupWindow_message_image "Please note that this game has a copy protection system\\nand sadly, it prevents Wine from running the game.\\n\\nPlayOnLinux will not provide any help concerning any illegal\\nstuff." "Note about copy protection" "/usr/share/playonlinux/themes/tango/warning.png"

you can see how it does look here and in the script

I have a gtx 280 and have the same problem

Berillions, could you post here a download link to this script? I've tryed to simply copy and paste it on a text file called "transformers.pol" and use it with PlayOnLinux (version 3.7.3, Mandriva Linux 2010.1), but the program says that the script is invalid.
